Hello Camille,
I am not sure if I have a hard answer for you but did you try
re-installing the software for the
DSL?
If you had the program open when you unplugged the computer by
mistake it may be looking for a
file on "their" server with a drive labeled Z: not yours. Do you
know what I mean?
If you do not have a drive Z: then it must be that the software
was talking to the Road Runners server
when the power was shut off.
I may be wrong but it seems logical to look there for the
problem.
Windows get's confused easily. :-)
It would have been a good time to have ERS9x installed.
I cannot tell you how many times stuff like what you just
described has happened to me!
But I'm always able to restore back to normal using ERS9x in
just minutes!

I hope this helps you.
Good luck,
Joe Sansoucie
